2 men deny forgery charges in check-cashing scheme

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Two Atlanta men have pleaded not guilty to forgery charges filed in Montana that prosecutors say are part of a multi-state scheme in which up to $210,000 in bad checks were cashed.

The Billings Gazette reports 25-year-old Ryan Vincent Hill and 21-year-old Xavier Cornelius Shields entered their pleas Friday in District Court in Billings. Both are charged with four counts of forgery, common scheme, and one count of forgery.

Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said the men had been involved in cashing as much as $60,000 in bad checks in Montana and as much as $150,000 in bad checks in South Dakota. Rosenquist said the men are also wanted in Nebraska, Maryland and Georgia.

Charging documents say Hill, Shields and two other men had transients cash the forged checks, allowing them to keep some of the money.
